Evoking Alan Moore's Watchmen and Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's The Boys, though less explicitly graphic in content, this series will resonate with fans of gritty superhero stories with provocative social commentary.

The convincing acting and lavish art direction help make this passable for fans of period romantic melodramas, but discerning Hendrix devotees who appreciate historical accuracy and are more interested in his music than his romantic travails, real or imagined, should wait for a more honest and substantial biopic.
